Smugfed must have been injured. What possible other explanation is there for this unexplained defeat?

Give him long enough and I'm sure he'll think of something .

To be fair though, late last night I was reading an article on the BBC's website about the match and I have to say that Federer had one of those rare shows of humility. It was most unlike him. I'll see if I can find it when I've got more time.

I think Federer's suffered from playing the Gillette tour in December instead of training and then not playing a tournament before the AO. His tennis is nowhere near his usual standard - so many errors from him yesterday. Pleased for Benneteau though - when on form his tennis is great to watch.

So Fed was paid one million euros to play at this event, so the question now is did he tank on purpose took the money and ran? Whatever the reasons surely organizers of these events should stop throwing huge amounts of money his way from now on when he's starting to look like a player who can no longer guarantee them a final

I think they should stop throwing huge amounts of money at him full stop. 1m Euro's? That's outrageous.

So, looking forward to the semis between Sharapova and Serena Williams in the Qatar Open. Gonna be interesting cuz if Serena wins, she becomes the World no.1 and if Sharapova wins, she still has a chance to get her hands on a diamond studded trophy...

My dad is gonna be there... (I asked him to take cotton for his ears) and he thinks he is gonna enjoy the match cuz according to him, it is 'Beauty vs Beast'!
